If you've never been here before, choose COMPOSER LIST from the left navigation bar, go to a composer you know (click on the first letter of the composer's last name), click on a song title (they're underlined), and you'll see the instrumentation & analysis of the chart. You can hear a sound clip of the recording if you click on the RealAudio button in the detail screen, and you can also read a brief biography of the composer and link to a site to learn more about the composer.

If you play jazz or teach it, explore our site. Order through your local music dealer, call Music Dispatch at 1-800-637-2852 or check out one of the online music stores through our "to order" links.

You can always return to this home page by pressing the SFM logo in the upper left corner of the side navigation bar, or press the BACK button on your browser.
